Abstract

A metallic cable for reinforcing elastomeric articles comprises a single strand of two filaments twisted together in a first direction, and a single filament helically disposed around the strand in a direction that is opposite to said first direction and has a pitch that is not greater than one and one-half times the lay length of said strand.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A metallic cable for reinforcing elastomeric articles comprising: (a) a single strand of two filaments twisted together in a first direction; and   (b) not more than one single filament helically disposed around said strand in a direction that is opposite to said first direction and has a pitch that is not greater than one and one-half times the lay length of said strand, said single filament having a diameter that is equal to or greater than the diameter of the filaments of said strand, said single filament having substantially the same physical properties as the filaments of said strand.   
     
     
       2. A metallic cable as described in claim 1, wherein the pitch of said single filament is substantially the same as the lay length of said strand. 
     
     
       3. A metallic cable as described in claim 2, wherein said single filament is shifted one-half of its pitch length with respect to said strand.
